Every day for the next, er, 128+ days we are going to bring you one of the podcasts from the archives – yes, the good old days where you had the original presenters.

Paul from the United Rantcast joined Ed and George for a veritable amble through the world of Football Manager.

They talked top rivalries, save updates, Manchester United tactics and all the usual community stuff. But they also talked about the Tobin brothers, Iain Macintosh’s personality and about the benefits of having a dishwasher. As you do.

Ed was a little under the weather last week, and George was in Germany. So we’re loading up this week with a whole bunch of podcasts to make up for it. And we’re starting with a super special Q&A podcast!

It’s going to be the first of many, and there’s a solid reason behind it as well. We’re launching a Patreon in the next couple of weeks, and we’re trying out some new formats. We’re ambitious, we want to impress, and you’re pretty much our imaginary board.

This week we mix things up. Well, sort of. George is off gallivanting again. But Chris Darwin takes over co-hosting duties, because he’s good like that. And Matt from Second Yellow Card joins us as well. It’s all good.

In the first of two (yup, that’s right, count ’em) episodes this week we start off by clearing tea-gate. Ed does like tea, he just doesn’t like crap tea. And we’re joined by Paul from the United Rantcast. Who we offer a pie.

He also has a friend called Ed who he hosts a podcast with. And he makes weird stuff with puppets. The question of the week revolves around your FM rivalries, all to tie in with the Manchester derby.

George and Ed return, and this week they’re joined by Daljit who has a lot of synonyms. You might know him as Bust the Net. And we start off with a bit of an apology for being useless last week.

Daljit gives us some background on who he is, and how he started playing Football Manager by accident. He didn’t even own a computer when the bug first bit him about a quarter of a century ago. Continue reading →
